Domaine de la Vieille Julienne lieu-dit Clavin Cotes du Rhone 2018
Boom! Domaine de la Vieille Julienne’s 18s have landed! Great pricing, and we have the whole range for you today, from drinkers (that’s some serious “drinkers!”), to the big time Reserves for the cellar. The domaine covers 30 hectares of vineyard that average over 60 years old, and the parcels of Grenache that go into the Reserve bottling of Chateauneuf-du-Pape are over 100 years old. The 91-point “Clavin” is outrageously delicious for the price, so dark and mouthcoating, you will be awed. Step up the older-vine wines and make sure you are sitting down when you drink them the first time! So finely tuned, yet intensely concentrated...these are dead-serious wines that will THRILL. Plenty of notes and scores below. Please don’t miss...a few of the wines we literally have 12-18 bottles!
